Wednesday
Sorry, my creativity is sapped at the moment. I can’t come up with anything more clever than Wednesday.
I have a book which I really need to turn in ASAP - the final Fate book - May 30th at the latest since I’m going to be gone for two weeks after that.
In theory it doesn’t sound so bad, until I tell you that with all of the other stuff I’ve got going on in the next two weeks I have 4 full days in which to finish this book.
If I’m scarce, you’ll know why.
And as much as I need to get this book turned in, I’m really excited to start on my next project. Unfortunately, I don’t know what it is.
I think I want to write a sequel to Secret Agent Man. Sam had a friend, a fellow agent named Fabio, that I’d love to give his own story. But “career wise” I’m not sure if that’s the next book I should be writing.
But…I don’t know that I care either. I really hate to think of writing as a career (even though it totally is) because that’s when I write crap and the whole thing becomes less fun.
So decisions, decisions. It doesn’t really matter anyway. I’ve got to finish Fighting Fate first (lovely illeteration there).
What are you working on? Have something fun percolating in the back of your brain?

Hi Emma! I read yesterday’s post and just wanted to comment on the difference between the two writers - (boy a lot of people are talking about how we all write a story here lately - interesting!) anyhow I loved how they both wrote differently and how in the end He summed up Jenny’s outline with ’she just calls it a draft’. I thought WOW - that is me. I guess you definitely could call the first run through of my story - a mad typing session of emotions - a rough outline. Though I never thought of it that way before. Cool.
I just came from Dee’s blog and talked about how I’m a weaver -(great post there) I am a weaver. I can’t and don’t want to figure it all out ahead of time. I’d rather go back and make it - as you said - coherent! See all those loose threads I’d missed but knew in my heart were there all along and feel the magic of it all coming together. I love that feeling.

I’m writing that same old vampire. I’ll be finishing it this summer.

Cole - the first draft/outline thing really struck a chord with me too. As does the weaving thing! I love those lightbulb moments!!
